  1. Eeee. It's felt like such an eternity since I've poked in here, and the Season 4 premiere seems like an excellent place to start. c: I was incredibly excited about this season, and I definitely wasn't disappointed by what they delivered.

    I feel like they handled the balance of the show's past with the show's potential future. I think it was a wise choice to introduce the concept of the Mane Six's friendship changing because of Twilight becoming a princess. It threw a nice little kink into the mess, an brought a little something challenging to the table. It's definitely more interesting than the instances where that kink was not thrown in (The Season 3 opener comes to mind, where it was more "Twilight must do this alone!" and everyone understanding / deferring to her). It felt like a stronger Season 2 opening, where their friendship is actually tested, as well as introducing Twilight's new dilemma. It was refreshing to see Twilight struggle to cope with her responsibilities as a Princess, and how uncomfortable she was. c:

    I thought the bit with the flashbacks was a little forced and could have been explored in a more adventurous way, though. That was probably my one complaint. It served its purpose, but didn't really offer much mystery or suspense to the ultimate conclusion. I would have liked them having to investigate before uncovering the root cause of the problem. The answer was more or less coincidentally thrust upon them.

    Nevertheless, it was a great series opener. I'm super excited for the next episode, and that darn chest.

    Nice theory, overall, I like the flashbacks. Wow, the crew really did a good job to kickstart the series once more. :)
